snmp values are integers, so perMyriad is usually used rather than perCent. That way, you can represent 7.57% as 757, and still use integers. Another typical use of that is that Decibels are usually represented as CentiBels... The use of Factor[] allows you to change the scale from something precise to something readable. > Could you please let me know what type of values gets > stored in gauge32 or how CPU utilization gets collected in gauge32 > variable? I am bit confused! I've only seen one system that represented CPU ticks in snmp - an old Bay Networks ATM switch that measured microseconds of elapsed CPU. You could then compute utilization as a normal counter.... -- Daniel J McDonald, CCIE # 2495, CISSP # 78281, CNX www.austinenergy.com
